This is a rework of patches 3-5 of [1]. It attempts to correctly program
REFCLKPER and REFCLK_FLADJ based on the reference clock frequency. Since
we no longer need a special property duplicating this configuration,
snps,ref-clock-period-ns is deprecated.

Please test this! Patches 3/4 in this series have the effect of
programming REFCLKPER and REFCLK_FLADJ on boards which already configure
the "ref" clock. I have build tested, but not much else.

Thinh, you suggested the dedicated DT property for the reference clock:

Can you comment on this series?

DWC3 databook states a *condition* for program those settings:

This field must be programmed to a non-zero value only if
GFLADJ_REFCLK_LPM_SEL is set to '1' or GCTL.SOFITPSYNC is set to '1'.
The value is derived as follows:
FLADJ_REF_CLK_FLADJ=((125000/ref_clk_period_integer)-(125000/ref_clk_period))
* ref_clk_period where
■ the ref_clk_period_integer is the integer value of the ref_clk
period got by truncating the decimal (fractional) value that is
programmed in the GUCTL.REF_CLK_PERIOD field.
■ the ref_clk_period is the ref_clk period including the fractional value.

So you may need a condition check, with that, only required users
are effected even with "ref" clock specified.

The Xilinx register documentation for this register in the DWC3 core ( 
https://www.xilinx.com/html_docs/registers/ug1087/usb3_xhci___gfladj.html ) has
the same description, but it is rather confusingly worded. I suspect what they
really mean is that "this field only needs to be programmed if
GFLADJ_REFCLK_LPM_SEL is set to '1' or GCTL.SOFITPSYNC is set to '1'", not
"this field should only be programmed if GFLADJ_REFCLK_LPM_SEL is set to '1' or
GCTL.SOFITPSYNC is set to '1'". I'm not sure if someone can confirm that
interpretation is correct?

However, looking at that description a bit further, it looks like there are
some other fields in that register which are dependent on the reference clock:
GFLADJ_REFCLK_240MHZ_DECR (bits 30:24) and GFLADJ_REFCLK_240MHZDECR_PLS1 (bit
31). It looks like the Xilinx board I am using has those set properly, i.e. to
12 and 0 respectively (I'm guessing by hardware default, since I don't see
anything in the FSBL psu_init code setting those), but it wouldn't hurt to
ensure those fields are also set correctly.

Unless there's a good way to pass this information for PCI devices, my
opinion hasn't changed. (Btw, I don't think creating a dummy clock
provider and its dummy ops is a good solution as seems to complicate and
bloat the PCI glue drivers).

Please help come up with a solution before deprecating the ref clock
property.

Thanks,
Thinh

Currently for dwc3 pci devices, we have glue drivers that create a
platform_device with specific properties to pass to the dwc3 core
driver. Without a ref clock property, we would need another way to pass
this information to the core driver or another way for the dwc3 core
driver to check for specific pci device's properties and quirks.

Yes. It would be great if we can rework and abstract this. I'd need to
review how AHCI handles it. It doesn't seem like a small task as it
touches on multiple drivers. But if anyone can start this off, I can
help further contribute/review.

Not sure about others, but that's fine with me. The other solution is to
rework the dwc3 drivers as Robert noted, but that requires some work.
